Noisomeness
(gcide) | Noisome \Noi"some\, a. [For noysome, fr. noy for annoy. See
Annoy.]
1. Noxious to health; hurtful; mischievous; unwholesome;
insalubrious; destructive; as, noisome effluvia. "Noisome
pestilence." --Ps. xci. 3.
[1913 Webster]
2. Offensive to the smell or other senses; disgusting; fetid.
"Foul breath is noisome." --Shak.
[1913 Webster] -- Noi"some*ly, adv. -- Noi"some*ness,
n.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Noxious; unwholesome; insalubrious; mischievous;
destructive.
Usage: Noisome, Noxious. These words have to a great
extent been interchanged; but there is a tendency to
make a distinction between them, applying noxious to
things that inflict evil directly; as, a noxious
plant, noxious practices, etc., and noisome to things
that operate with a remoter influence; as, noisome
vapors, a noisome pestilence, etc. Noisome has the
additional sense of disqusting. A garden may be free
from noxious weeds or animals; but, if recently
covered with manure, it may be filled with a noisome
smell.
